House of Mystery #231 VF/NM to NM- : $70

Classic Wrightson cover.

Probably pressable to higher grade as stress lines on spine are in the white area. The line in the middle of back cover is a printer error very common on that issue. You can compare with the following eBay sale:

eBay HOM 231

Interesting.  Heritage says it is...  And the artist is Tony D. and the byline is "What shocking truth made the town he saved fear JONAH HEX".  (Hope this is okay to post.  Take it as a "bump".) 

 

This is what Heritage said on Tony D. preliminary sketch for AS10:

Tony DeZuñiga All-Star Western #10 Cover Preliminary Original Art (DC, 1972). The shadow of Jonah Hex looms large in his very first appearance on this fantastic initial cover design in pure graphite on 8.5" x 10.75" onionskin paper. Toned in Very Good condition.

OSPG says that #11 is first cover appearance for Jonah Hex. You have the right to disagree with them. I chose not.
